Can you imagine this feral trying to chump a Model S Plaid.

Weird to visit Graceland which in Elvis’ time was in a nice suburb now it’s gangstas and signs to not leave valuables in your car.

"Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion."

As for the automatic weapon, if you find 20-30 casings sprayed around a central point and witnesses say the guy opened up only for a couple seconds... Well, decent chance it was an automatic weapon. :P

Glocks converted to full-auto have been popping up in urban crimes with more frequency. Apparently, there is a simple auto sear that can be purchased on-line that will allow a semi-auto Glock-17 to fire in full auto.

Add a large capacity stick or drum magazine and there you go.

Those things are worse than useless.

Muzzle climb in full-auto is a notorious phenomenon, and on a pistol it is nearly impossible to mitigate. That means that one, maybe two rounds have a chance of hitting; the rest goes skyward.

Or they’ll use some of them as their alternate security force after they’re done defunding the police.

This could give Mustang drivers a bad rap.

Nobody let Discovery know. It will become a fake storyline.
